Familial small cell carcinoma of the ovary.

13 Dec 2009 Ovarian tumors have a low incidence in childhood, accounting for 1% of malignancies within the ages of 0-17 years. Small cell carcinoma of the ovary is a rare histology and historically has a poor prognosis. We report a case of an 11-year-old female ... Read more...

Hypercalcemia and osteoblastic lesions induced by 13-Cis-retinoic acid mimicking relapsed neuroblastoma.

29 Sep 2009 A 6-year-old male diagnosed with extensive neuroblastoma was treated with chemotherapy, surgery, autotransplantation, and radiotherapy. He was then enrolled on a study to assess the monoclonal antibody Ch14.18 (anti-GD2) with 13 cis-retinoic acid. ... Read more...

Hypercalcemia in advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma: prevalence and potential impact on palliative care.

30 Aug 2009 Hypercalcemia is common in patients with advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). In this study, hypercalcemia was detected in 46 (51%) of 90 eligible patients with HNSCC over 4 years. Compared with nonhypercalcemics, hypercalcemics ... Read more...
